Fabric makeup remover cloth

ABSTRACT

A cloth used for makeup removal, especially makeup mistake removal, consisting of a piece of 100% polyester mesh knit fabric and a piece of a spandex blend fabric, stitched together to form a two-layered cloth. The invention is used as a wipe to remove excess makeup from the user&#39;s skin or hair. Unlike previous wipes and cloths, the texture and absorbency of the selected fabrics allow for the removal of unwanted makeup without the need for added water, cleansers, oils, or formulas. Thus, the cloth will correct mistakes without the possibility of smearing other areas of the face, where makeup is already applied, with water or oil; it also reduces the need for using harsh chemical makeup removers around sensitive areas such as the eyes.

TECHNICAL FIELD

This invention relates to a cloth used for makeup removal, especially asan improved method for removing makeup mistakes or excess makeup productfrom face, hands, or clothes.

BACKGROUND ART

There exist microfiber cloths which are intended for the use of makeupremoval and marketed as “natural” and “reusable.” However, these requirethe use of water and are not useful for fixing minor errors duringmakeup application.

There also exist many variations of cotton swabs or pads used for makeupremoval, most often combined with liquid chemical compositions. However,these can be messy, cause makeup to smear or run, and often containharsh chemicals that are harmful or irritating to skin, especially insensitive areas such as the eyes.

There also exist pre-moistened facial wipes that are effective atremoving makeup in small or large amounts. However, these are single useonly. Modern consumers have a demand for more sustainable products fortheir positive effect on the environment and long-term money-savingqualities.

Therefore, a significant need exists for a wipe which is useful forcorrecting makeup mistakes or removing small amounts of excess orunwanted makeup, is safe and non-irritating, does not require addedwater or other formulas, and can be reused.

DISCLOSURE OF INVENTION

An object of this invention is to provide a product that allows makeupusers to quickly and easily fix their makeup mistakes without the use ofadded water or cleanser.

Provided with this invention is a square comprising of two pieces offabric stitched together. The two sides are different materials, both ofa stretchy nature associated with athletic clothing or swimwear. Thefirst is a lightweight, polyester, mesh knit fabric. The other sideconsists of a fabric blend of spandex with nylon and polyester invarying proportions. The wicking and absorbing properties of thesematerials allow them to effectively remove unwanted makeup without addedwater, cleansers, or other formulas; the selected fabrics arenon-irritating to skin; and the wipe can be reused and washed forlong-term use.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS

FIG. 1 is an angled view of the makeup remover cloth, which shows thatthere are two layers of fabric, with one row of exposed stitching due tothe process of manufacture.

FIG. 2 is a view of one side of the makeup remover cloth, which showsthe square shape of the invention.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

A piece of 100% polyester, mesh knit, 4-way stretch material is laid ona piece of blended nylon and spandex 4-way stretch fabric. The latterfabric may also contain polyester in addition to or in place of nylonand may be comprised of anywhere from 12% to 50% spandex. The two piecesof material are stitched together with a straight stitch, using anystandard thread, nearly all the way around the edge, then turned insideout to form a pocket. The ‘pocket’ is then closed with a line ofstraight stitching across the edge with the opening. In this manner,there is one row of stitching visible on the finished product. Thefinished invention may be square or any other shape, from three inchesto ten inches across. No chemicals or formula are needed for productionor added to the finished invention.

Intended use of the invention includes removing makeup from skin andhair. It may also be used to remove makeup from clothing or othersurfaces. The fabric is soft and flexible enough to be non-irritatingfor all skin types and is safe for children. The invention can also beused to remove excess of other substances, such as sunscreen, from theskin or hair; or anti-perspirant powder from clothing. The inventiondiffers from previous inventions because it removes makeup or othersubstances without water, cleansers, or any chemical formulas. The twodifferent fabrics provide a greater variety of texture, one of which maybe more effective for removing different types of makeup and cosmeticproduct.
